LeBron's decision was absolutely baffling. He's going to be the THIRD highest paid player on his team. He will never have a claim that it's "his" championship.

It doesn't really bother me because the Magic are going to knock them out of the playoffs next season, but I just found LeBron's decision baffling, more how he handled it... but I'd be lying to say I wasn't shocked when he said he was going to the Heat.

I'm over it all though, I can't even watch CNN without LeBron shit coming on.

I don't think 6 years after LeBron retires and he goes into the Hall of Fame people are going to be saying "he was the third highest paid player on his team. Who the hell remembers how much Kareem's contract was for and how much Magic's contract was for?

If they win a championship together with the Heat Wade's ring is not going to be bigger than LeBron's ring. Wade's ring isn't going to have more diamonds on it or have more karats of gold in it. They are all going to get the same ring. The ring Kobe Bryant has for 2009 is the same one DJ Mbanga has and it will be the same for 2010. One player doesn't get a bigger more special ring than the other players do. The players names don't go on the championship banners the team name does.

And maybe LeBron was never meant to be a team's leading scorer. I believe that is something he is not suited to be. He is suited to be a facilitator and make average players play like good players and good players play like great players.

I do agree though that he should have handled the whole situation better. He should have told Dan Gilbert he was leaving. That was very cold and careless. BUT like Mark Jackson said many times owners and GMs trade players and don't call them to tell them they've been traded. So I can't feel that bad for Dan Gilbert.

In regards of CNN they might as well change their name to Celebrity News Network. The only news they and all the other cable news channels can honestly report is what Sarah Palin's farts smelled like today.

There are a few things I have realized about Mr. Jet over a few topics.

1) He is a racist. By constantly using race as a battling tool.
2) He is an extreme Liberal. If you are on either extreme you are probabaly more wrong than right.
3) He is one of those people who will never admit fault, error or defeat.
4)His life sucks and he takes it out on people who don't share in his views.

Eh. I'm done going on and on about LeBron, we have different opinions on him. He isn't the King anymore. (although I am surprised that Wade was the one who took the lesser deal, but they all signed 100M+, not sure how it's all going to work out).

The Bulls signed Reddick to an offer sheet, I hope the Magic match it.

LeBron James Decision in a Analogy in a Nutshell (Credit goes to Bill Simmons of ESPN)

That's a great analogy. The NWO eventually, to my mind, killed pro wrestling and turned it into the awful product it is today. The hijacking of the NBA by three of it's biggest stars is an apt parallel..

Oh, and Gilbert talks trash like a ring manager.

Exterminate all rational thought, that is the conclusion I have come to

The AOL and Time Warner merger is what killed WCW and created the McMahon's monopoly. Nitro was still TNT's highest rated show in early 2001 but Time Warner wanted to get out of the rasslin' business and turn TNT into an all drama station. Vince McMahon's monopoly over the industry as a result is what killed pro wrestling.

Bosh, Wade, and LeBron did not hijack the NBA. It wasn't any of them that made the trades and designed the contracts for other players that created the Heat's cap space. None of them negotiated the collective bargaining agreement to favor just the three of them. The only ones to blame for this is Pat Riley and the numerous corporate sponsored All-American high school basketball camps and games.
